Montrose Area Wood Turners is proud to present a Club Demo and an opportunity for a Hands-On with Keith Gotschall, a professional turner from Salida, CO. Keith is a former furniture builder who, like many of us, discovered a wood lathe and the rest is history. Keith is an up and coming name in turning and will be demonstrating at a number of symposia this year.

Our History

Several years ago, a local woodturner invited members of the Woodworkers Guild of Western Colorado to gather periodically at his shop to share ideas and promote woodturning .

As interest increased, the woodturning group decided to become an independent woodturning organization. In January, 2014, the Montrose Area Woodturners, Inc. was formed. The group became a recognized chapter of the American Association of Woodturners with Dave Kaufmann as the first president.
